Chapter 92 by Cara Anderson
Ch. 92 First Heat
Mallory’s POV
“Mallory, you don’t have to decide this today. My brother’s marks will be enough. I won’t let you be pressured into accepting me.” Colton’s voice was firm but his eyes held vulnerability.
Clay and Cary had gone in ahead of us. They asked Colton to stay with me while they cleared the packhouse of unmated males, but I knew they were trying to give us some time alone to talk. Dr. Diaz’s advice caught us both more than a little off guard.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Logically, I understood where Colton was coming from. Hopped up on hormones while your wolf is begging for her alpha mate’s bite isn’t the best time to be making life-altering decisions. But emotionally, his attempt to be noble just felt like another rejection.
I stared out the window, trying and failing to contain a whimper. Colton must have sensed where my head was at, because he pulled me into his lap and grazed my neck with his finger. I shivered under his touch and burrowed into him, chasing his soothing scent.
“Look at me, Mal.” He tipped my chin up to meet his gaze. “Don’t misunderstand me. I want to leave my mark on your pretty little neck. I want that more than anything. But I also know I don’t deserve you.
“If you let me bite you today, we’ll be tied together for life. I don’t ever want you to regret that decision. I still have a lot of work to do to earn your forgiveness. It’s enough for me that you’re letting me try.”
He was still looking at me with that raw vulnerability that said my next words had the power to break him. But he was right, this wasn’t a decision I could make without considering the consequences. If I gave in today, would I regret it later?
“Would you stop trying to earn my forgiveness? If I let you mark me, would I emerge from this hormonal haze to find myself bound to the Colton I used to know? The one that nearly destroyed me?” He cringed at the reminder and a surge of guilt assaulted me.
“Of course not! Whether you wear my mark or not, you’re my mate. And I’ll never stop trying to be worthy of that privilege as long as I live.” I felt his unguarded sincerity in his words and in the tender kiss he pressed to my lips. ” So you see, no pressure.”
“But, what if I want your mark? What if I tell you I’m ready for it?” I asked softly.
He shook his head, fighting an internal battle between what he wanted and what he believed was the right thing. It was cowardly of me to put that on him instead of just telling him what I wanted. But I knew he wouldn’t give it to me if he thought it was the heat talking. I had to convince him.
“I listened to your conversation with Darcy!” I burst out before I lost my nerve. My shoulders slumped and I breathed out heavily. “I’m sorry for eavesdropping. Insecurity got the better of me.
“But my point is, I heard you tell her you loved me. You didn’t know I was listening. You weren’t saying those things to reassure me. You were saying them because you meant them and were genuinely sorry for the pain you caused her because of it.
“So, since it appears to be the day for honesty, I love you too, Colton.” He sucked in a sharp breath at my admission but didn’t speak, allowing me to finish. “I genuinely loved Nathan, but I also hid behind that love. It was easier than admitting my feelings for the three of you when I knew they weren’t reciprocated and believed they never would be.
“What I’m trying to say is, I love you, have loved you for a long time, and I’d be proud to wear your mark.”
“Oh little Omega!” Colton cupped my face in his hands, so close our lips brushed each other. “I fucking love you so much!”
Then he kissed me senseless. It started out sweet, tender but quickly turned heated. I twisted in his lap, straddling him as he licked into me. We were both so lost in each other, we didn’t notice the car door open until Clay cleared his throat.
“Looks like you two made a decision.” He remarked. “Let’s get you inside, little wolf. The coast is clear.”
Colton made a strangled sound when Clay snatched me from his arms, but quickly followed us. Clay was practically running into the packhouse with me but my stomach was starting to cramp again so I couldn’t complain. I fisted my hands in his shirt and let his leather and tobacco scent wash over me, holding the pain at bay.
When we entered the apartment, I expected Clay to take me straight to bed. But instead, he bypassed the bedroom and headed for the bathroom instead. I was surprised to find Cary already waiting there for me, naked and in the bathtub.
“We thought a warm bath might help you relax before the full heat hits you.” He grinned sheepishly, answering my questioning look.
“That sounds nice, actually.” I smiled back, touched by their thoughtfulness.
Having never been through a heat before, I assumed it would be days worth of mindless, sweaty sex. And maybe that part was still coming. But having mates who were willing to pamper me a little rather than jumping right into bed made me feel special.
Colton helped Clay peel off my clothes and just removing the sweat-soaked garments already made me feel better. I was sure I’d be sticky with various body fluids soon enough but it would feel good to start off clean. Cary reached for me and Clay helped me step in.
“Come here, darling.” Cary helped me sit to straddle him.
He already had a raging erection and it bobbed between us in the water. Pre- heat flared in my belly again and I pressed closer to him, rubbing my slick pussy over his thick member. He groaned at the sensation, then nipped at my bottom lip before deepening the kiss.
The silky warmth of the water curled around us as we licked, nipped and sucked at each other’s lips. Clay had joined us, washing my back with a soft soapy rag, while Colton leaned against the counter watching us with hungry eyes.
“Turn her around, brother.” Clay ordered.
Cary pulled away from me, chuckling when I chased his lips. Then he flipped me in his lap, his cock between my ass cheeks. I wiggled against him playfully and he growled in my ear, tightening his grip on my hips to hold me still.
Clay lovingly caressed my breasts with his soapy hands, tossing aside the rag in favor of skin to skin contact. He circled my nipples with his thumbs, teasing them to tight little buds.
“Spread your legs for me, little wolf. I wouldn’t want to miss any part of you, dirty girl.”
Cary helped me obey Clay’s directive by spreading my thighs with his hands and holding them in place. Clay’s eyes blackened as he locked on to the glistening pink of my lower lips. Even under water, it was evident how wet with slick I was and the scent of my arousal only seemed thicker in the steamy air around us.
“She looks delicious, doesn’t she?” Cary taunted. “Make sure you get her nice and clean for us brother.”
Cary bent his knees, pushing me above the water for Clay. He watched over my shoulder while Clay draped my legs over his shoulders and lowered his face to my pussy, licking me from entrance to clit.
“Fuck!” I screamed at the intensity of the pleasure that jolted through me.
Everything seemed heightened, sights, smells, and definitely touch. Even kissing and tasting my mates earlier seemed sweeter. If this was only the beginning, I was actually a little scared to experience a full heat. I would lose my damn mind before it was over.
Clay sucked at my folds, swirling his tongue over and between them, but completely avoided my clit. Cary had released my thighs to play with my tits, squeezing the heavy flesh and tweaking my nipples. I pulled at Clay’s hair, trying to maneuver him where I wanted him but he refused to be moved.
“Please, Alpha!” I whimpered, my need for release blossoming into an ache deep inside.
“I’m just cleaning you up, little wolf. Did you think I was going to let you come?” His wicked smirk said he wouldn’t allow any such thing.
I choked back a sob as the heat spiked and my clit throbbed with unsated lust. My chest rose and fell rapidly as I started to panic. If one of them didn’t make me come soon, the pain was going to take over and I didn’t want to feel that again.
“That’s enough! Can’t you see she’s hurting?!” Colton roared, ripping me away from his brothers.
I clung to him like a spider monkey and he wrapped me in a towel, drying me as he stormed toward the bedroom. He laid me gently on the bed and stretched out beside me. The way he was looking at me was part adoration and part unadulterated desire, undoing all Clay’s hard work as slicked gushed down my thighs again.
“You need to come, don’t you little Omega?” I nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ve got you. I’ll always give you what you need, love.”
He slipped two fingers inside me, curling them perfectly as he stroked my sensitive walls. His eyes flashed with need and a groan rumbled in his chest.
“So fucking tight. I can’t wait to be inside you.” He breathed.
“Yes. Please.” I whined.
“Not yet. Not until my brothers join us. But I’ll take care of you.” He kissed along my jaw as he spoke.
Increasing the pace of his strokes, he fucked me on his fingers while his thumb traced a mind-blowing pattern on my clit. As the pleasure built in my core, he murmured words of love and lust, making my heart throb in time with my swollen nub.
“You’re so fucking beautiful. I fucking adore you. Thank you for loving me, for being mine. Everything about you is perfect. Your smell, your taste, your tight little cunt. You wreck me, love.” He rambled on.
Then he kissed me, hot and dirty, fucking my mouth with his tongue as he increased the pressure on my clit. That was all it took to send me flying. Pleasure burst from my center like a volcanic eruption. My juices flooded his hand as I came screaming his name.
Colton stroked me through every last pulsing wave of bliss, then kissed me softly once, twice, three times. He nuzzled my nose with his then rested his forehead on mine while I panted, struggling to catch my breath. But instead of slowing down, my breath picked up again.
I curled my fists into the fabric of his shirt as I arched off the bed, another searing pain ripped through my body. Slick poured from my pussy, drenching his pants where his leg was wedged between mine. A guttural cry tore from my lungs bringing Clay and Cary running.
“Shit!” Clay muttered when he saw me writhing.
“Fuck!” Cary cursed at the same time.
My heat was here in full force. I reached for my mates as I whimpered and whined.
“Alphas, I need you! Need your cocks, need your bites!”
Clay and Cary dropped their towels as the material of Colton’s ripped clothes fluttered to the floor. Three pairs of black eyes stared down at me as my mates’ wolves joined us. My heart thumped and my core spasmed with excitement for our first heat together.
